I think it's a mistake to take only one light anywhere where you will rely on the light entirely. I don't care if it's a Dinotte or a Lupine or what. I always at least have a 18650 flashlight and a lockblock in my bag.
That said, the only time the magicshine has failed me on the road has been when I forgot to charge the battery.
The Dinotte failed me on the road. I wound up going in to work using my red taillight in steady mode as a headlight going about 5 MPH.
